Fake Porn Video Of Wonder Woman Star Gal Gadot Goes Viral

LONDON: Since the release of Wonder Woman this year, fans are gushing over the film’s lead star, Gal Gadot. She was not only lauded for her brilliant performance in the film, but found many crushing over the gorgeous actress. And the way internet always overdoes it, the crushing now has a tangible outcome. And one that Gadot may not appreciate. A Reddit user, evidently a fan of the actress, used face swap technology to swap Gadot’s face in place of a porn star’s to make a porn video of hers.

The Reddit user going by the name of Deepfakes, who is a programmer with an interest in machine learning, used the tricks at his disposal to paste the face of Gadot on that of a porn star’s, consequently making a fake porn video of the actress. This was done using open-source machine learning tools like TensorFlow which is made freely available by Google for users… for research purposes.

However, despite the girl appearing to be Gal Gadot on the first impressions, the user’s work wasn’t to perfection. When looked closely, there were quite visible pixels distorting her face. And it was most evident when her face moves in the video. The algorithm used here is one that is also used by NVIDIA researchers. According to the user, this algorithm can turn a video of a scene summer to look like that of winter. As one can guess, the video is going viral given the popularity of the actress. And ultimately, the newly rising trend of fake images and fake videos of eminent celebrities just has had another addition to it. Keep following this space for more updates.
